Congratulations Tea Kiesel for winning the first ever “Name That Drill” contest, earning Gold at the Alpine Meadows U16 Slalom qualifiers. Tea is a first year U16 competing against older U16s. We look forward to following her ski racing as she continues to develop her skills both on and off-Biste. Way to Go Tea!

The Name That Drill contest is a way to add incentive to the junior ski racers training on the indoor Snow Biste using the Biste Method of accelerated learning. This honor is only available to junior skiers who train with us. Because our racers are doing so well, we are opening up a second drill for naming this season. In order to win the honor of drill naming, the recipient must podium at a scheduled race. A podium is placing 1st, 2nd or 3rd in your age class. Currently we have juniors racing in U8, U10, U12, U14 and U16. Good luck junior athletes! “

Make this your best winter sports season ever! Join us for a fun, dynamic exercise program designed specifically to better your snow sport performance while decreasing your risk of injury. Two four week classes are being offered. Each 4-week class will develop ski and board specific muscles that get you ready for and more confident on the ski slopes. Instruction is provided by Casey Gleason, NASM certified personal trainer in conjunction with Biste Technologies, our local company that designs and fabricates ski and board functional movement training machines right here in town. Each registered participant will also receive an opportunity to try Snow Biste equipment as part of this class. Call to sign-up 775-741-9474

Testimonials

My wife and I saw the article on Biste in the RGJ. We had plateaued in our skiing ability — basically being stuck at the “Advanced-minus” level for the last several years. We were ready and eager to take it to the next level. We had tried “on the mountain” lessons but were frustrated that in a one-h…

If anyone is looking to improve their skiing skills (or just learn to ski!), I highly recommend reaching out to Kris Buttenberg at Biste Technologies, LLC in Reno! Training on the Biste system was invaluable to Emma, not only as she worked to return to snow from her knee injury, but also to really g…

Kris,
I truly appreciated having the fastest skier on the hill take time out to assist me with learning how to prepare for the race. I’m very optimistic that we’ll continue to clear up the items we’ve been working on and I’ll be quite a bit faster racing.
Best Regards,

The classes helped immensely!! Kellen and the twins were as good as other kids who had been skiing many more days before them this year, so it was fantastic that they could just dive right in and be at the same level. Exactly what I wanted.

Working with Kris on the ski desk was by far the best ski learning experience I’ve had. He obviously really knows his stuff and is able to communicate it well. Skiing on the deck gave me much more intense practice and with him right there watching, he could see exactly what I was doing when and coul…

Kris Buttenberg, at Biste Technologies, has invented a truly one-of-a-kind experience in South Reno. It’s as close to skiing as you can get in the heat of a Nevada summer and we are working with him to provide access to SBA athletes over the summer. The machine demands ankle flexion and the activa…

We tried out this endless ski slope a few weeks ago and it was fantastic. It was the next best thing to being on snow and in one session I felt like I worked out this weird right leg under edging thing I could not put my finger on all winter. ‘Their’ alpine race watches and instructs, it’s very int…

Kris Buttenberg is a fabulous ski instructor.
He is friendly and professional, and excellent at helping me progress quickly with fun and challenging lesson plans.
He built a wonderful “Biste,” an inclined treadmill that makes it possible to ski and learn faster, even during the off season. I h…
